Sentence examples for spread index from inspiring English sources

In a standard FWI system calculation, the initial spread index and consequently the fire weather index depend on FFMC (see Fig. 2) and thus, this hourly function also calculates an hourly value for the ISI and FWI (hISI and hFWI).

The standard FWI system tracks only daily levels of fuel moisture and fire behavior potential; however, because some elements of the fire environment vary significantly throughout the day, elements of the AFM system provide ways of adjusting some outputs (i.e., fine fuel moisture code (FFMC), initial spread index (ISI), and fire weather index (FWI)) at different times of day (Van Wagner 1977).

A pattern compatible with stasis was observed in the H3N2 seasons preceding an H1N1 season: these seasons were associated with significantly slower spread than other H3N2 seasons (spread index = 5.69 weeks versus 3.60, P = 0.02 by the Wilcoxon test), and a somewhat lower mortality impact (3.32 P&I excess deaths per 100,000 population versus 4.55, Wilcoxon P = 0.08).

Overall, H1N1 seasons were associated with lower mortality impact and slower spread than H3N2 seasons (mortality index: 1.8 P&I excess deaths per 100,000 in H1N1 seasons versus 4.1 in H3N2 seasons, Wilcoxon P = 0.005; spread index: 7.1 weeks versus 4.4 weeks, P = 0.008).

Moreover, the biggest clusters (48 and 39 isolates respectively; see Figure 2A) concern ubiquitous spoligotypes 50 and 53, widely spread on all the five continents (spreading index SI equal to 20.95 and 28.09 respectively [ 30]), and for which interpretation in terms of recent transmission remains difficult.

We here discuss brain models of language in the light of specific rapid activation spreading indexing different kinds of psycholinguistic processes.

Waits taught Jones to spread his index and middle fingers, almost as if he were throwing a split-finger fastball, and use that grip to throw several pitches.

For example, the range spread F index varied from zero (no spread F) to two (moderate spread F) for a vertical drift at 22 m/s and from 0.3 (almost no spread F) to 2.4 (moderate to strong spread F) for a vertical drift at 33 m/s (Abdu et al. 1983).

Abdu et al. (1983) used range spread F index numbers, from 0 to 3, to specify the degree of spreading in the ionogram, with zero representing the absence of spread F, 1 and 2 representing weak and moderate degrees of range spreading, and 3 representing severe spreading to the extent of making the virtual height reading impossible.

The host vegetation and climate variables were parameterized in accordance to their epidemiological importance and the final appraisal scores were summarized by month to represent a cumulative spread risk index, standardized as five categories from very low to very high risk.

Twenty mammary fat pads each from female Balb/c mice transplanted with TM6-HOG and fed with 0.1 ppm selenium and with 3 ppm selenium respectively, were evaluated at 4 and 12 weeks after transplantation for growth spread, proliferative index and caspase-3 activity.
